EMERGENCY-AFTER HOUR CALLS... Phone this
office at 323-0100 (we have 24 hour answering service). If the problem is severe, sudden,
or serious you can be connected immediately with the Animal Emergency Center, 6427 South
Virginia Street, phone 851-3600 (they are open weeknights 6:00p.m. to 8:00a.m. and
Saturday noon until Monday 8:00am, also 24 hours on major holidays). This is a
first-class, fully staffed Emergency facility. Descriptive brochure available in my
office. If the problem is not life-threatening and does not require immediate attention
and regards treatment or surgery by Dr. Pierce you may leave your name, phone number and
explain the nature of the problem to the answering service. Dr. Pierce usually checks with
them several times over the week-end and returns calls unless out of town. You get better
emergency service if you (1) remain calm and courteous, (2) cooperate fully and disclose
all the facts. If you keep phoning out and tie up the line, the Doctor can not return your
call.

Serious After- hours emergencies call 851-3600

We
try to treat all pets brought to us with the same attitude we would have if the pet were
our own. We want clients that desire that type of service. No unnecessary work will be
done on your pet and you will not be charged for any work that is not done. We try to be
honest and fair with you and want you to be the same with us. We have never turned a sick
or injured animal away because of a client's inability to pay for our services. If you
have any complaints, please let us know.
